Power/Counter Series

I compiled that several years ago after breaking down that video, & talking with Russ via phone.

PS: We now express our blocking rules as follows, & they have really helped us:

POWER/COUNTER BLOCKING RULES:


ON Y/H:
1. ON T UNCOVERED — THRU TO MLB AREA.
2. ON T COVERED & ON G UNCOVERED — DOUBLE WITH ON T
(TO BS/LBer).
3. ON G & CENTER BOTH COVERED — GAP BLOCK.
NOTE: "SPECIAL" VS. 7 TECHNIQUE — INFLUENCE 7 & ARC BLOCK
NEXT MAN OUTSIDE (G OR H WILL TRAP THE 7).


ON T:
1. ON G UNCOVERED — DOUBLE TEAM WITH TE (TO BS/LBer).
2. ON G COVERED — DOUBLE TEAM WITH ON G (TO BS/LBer).
3. ON G & CENTER BOTH COVERED — GAP BLOCK.


ON G:
1. CENTER UNCOVERED — DOUBLE TEAM WITH ON T (TO BS/LBer).
2. CENTER COVERED — BLOCK DOWN ON NOSE.
3. CENTER & YOU BOTH COVERED — GAP BLOCK NOSE.


CTR:
1. BLOCK BACK ON 1st. MAN ON LOS AWAY FROM POINT OF ATTACK (ALERT FOR LBer RUN THRU).


TRAPPER (OFF G ON COUNTER/H OR Y ON POWER):
1. EMLOS PLAYSIDE. (?1st MAN OUTSIDE ON T?)


WRAPPER (OFF G ON POWER/H OR Y ON COUNTER)
1. PULL & TURN UP TIGHT TO DT - WRAP PS/LBer.


OFF T:
1. SQUEEZE B GAP — HINGE ON EDGE RUSHER


WR'S:
1. BLOCK SAFETIES

That would be the weakside Kik or Power to the SE side which Bugel, Hanifan, & Grimm called "BIM"!

They referred to the weakside Counter as "Stutter". The names are NOT important. They are all POWERS (if H or Y kicks out), & COUNTER (if the Off G kicks out).

We (& many others) no longer pull the OFFSIDE T on Counter so HE squeeze/hinges.

We squeeze hinge with OFFSIDE TACKLE on POWER/KIK.
